In a heated email obtained by a British newspaper, Apple executives disputed claims made in a recent undercover BBC documentary that work rules for Chinese factory workers that make its iPhones were still being widely abused.

Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s WSJD Live conference today, Apple chief executive Tim Cook said that the company had activated 1 million credit cards with Apple Pay in the service’s first three days of availability.

On the heels of an iCloud hacking scandal and the launch of Apple Pay, a new service highly dependent on security, Apple chief executive Tim Cook is trying to ensure we keep calm and continue uploading.

You may not have caught it, but the semi-rehearsed back-and-forth between Apple CEO Tim Cook and Bono on stage at yesterday’s iPhone event revealed that Apple paid dearly to make U2’s new album free to iTunes customers.

Billionaire Carl Icahn invested in Apple yet again, saying the company is “extremely cheap” as its stock continues to fall.Icahn, who up until two days ago was actively pursuing a take over of Dell, has been touting Apple as undervalued. Last month, he purchased a “large position” in Apple, tweeting about his conversations with the company’s chief executive Tim Cook. At the time, he alluded that the conversations were not over and that he and Cook would talk “again shortly.” Seems those communication lines did, in fact, stay open, as Icahn told CNBC that he’d bought “quite a bit” of Apple’s stock.He did not tweet about today’s purchase, but he did further express to CNBC that, for him, Apple is a “no brainer.”The company released its latest set of iPhones, set to be officially released to customers on September 20. Instead of lowering the price on its iPhone 5, Apple decided to come out with two new versions of the 5: the 5C and the 5S. The 5C is a slightly pared down version that comes in a range of colors due to its plastic body. The 5S offers all the new hardware upgrades, and is made out of metal.The announcement didn’t do much for Apple’s stock, however. It tumbled $29 a share today and continued to drop five percent in after-hours trading. Unfortunately, Icahn’s influence hasn’t affected Apple’s share price today, which closed at 467.71.When Icahn announced his first investment in August, the company’s stock jumped to $500 for the first time since January.

While Apple unveiled its iOS 7 operating system back in June, what the company didn’t say is when iOS users would actually be able to get their (figurative) sweaty mitts on the update. Until now, anyway.
